    I agree, but then u really have no bench at all

    Idk, this just seems like it would take a miracle to pull off. There's so many things that would have to fall into place and go right for us. Morey is the GOAT if he pulls this off.

    Harden, CP3, and Hayward? Nice, maybe we can take the Warriors to 6 games.

    I'm confident that Morey could find a way to gut the team to make the salaries work but I don't see Hayward coming to Houston, let alone CP3.

    Might as well go for it but be prepared for some hurt feelings if it doesn't happen. It's hard for dudes to hear their names in trade rumors all summer and come back and be the same players if it falls apart.

    If Blake goes to the Celtics like Woj has been alluding to then the Clippers would have to gut and Hayward wouldn't be going to the Celts. This scenario could be possible.

    I'm no BimaThug but I believe this has to happen;

    Ryno
    Ariza
    Lou
    And we would have to pick between EG or Bev.

    Renounce Nene, Bobby,

    Trade our 2nd rd picks this year or draft and stash.

    Don't see it. All of Anderson, Gordon, Ariza, LouWill and Beverley would have to be traded, and then they would both have to take small pay cuts. Zero depth isn't going to cut it against the Warriors.

    Whatever, I promised myself I wouldn't get worked up about the offseason this year. Need to keep reminding myself of that.

    The idea is to win a championship so trying to add cp3 and hayward around harden even if it guts the team is a no brainer move.

    If your left with a starting lineup of

    Cp3
    Harden
    Hayward
    Dekker
    Capela

    That's extreamly versatile on both ends of the court.

    Sure you're bench is much weaker than what we had this season but your also a much much better team overall.

    I mean it's impossible to duplicate what the Warriors did because we don't have a superstar making 12m a season like curry. Had curry signed the 5 yr 80m max he should have got than adding Durant would have gutted the warriors and left them with just there big 4 and literally nothing else and they still might have had to trade Klay to make it really wrk.

    Imo if the rockets could add cp3 -'d hayward you have the type of team in the starting five that could have a realistic punchers chance and that's the best anyone can ask for.

    That is a **** ton of salary to move. You might need to attach Bev to move someone like Ryno - Bev's contract has a lot of value whereas Ryno's is slightly negative.
